The story of the alien Rift invasion of the New Hope Colony begins on Earth in 2122 when all too familiar problems and events cause a chain reaction that will have repercussions on two worlds. Fleeing for their lives Navy Lieutenant Paul “Rick” O'Brien and Marine Staff Sergeant Susan Mollison “Molly” Bennett will have to board a starship for the long voyage to colony to join the Colonial Rangers.

A short story introductory to the coming book - "Into The Shadow Of Dark" is about a group of people trapped in a bank and plagued by a demonic being keeping them prisoner. Two strange individuals come to their aid and confront the terror with unusual abilities.

The Rift have come to retake a planet they’ve claimed for over a thousand years. Humans call it New Hope. The first shots will be aimed at the 850-foot long anti-gravity powered cargo transport lander Cairo. Onboard are Commander Rick Cassidy and his partner Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford along with 50 female students and interns, and a handful of staff from the New Hope Academy.

The mission is far from over... The second part of the exciting adventures of Red and her computer companion Grimm continue! While on the run from the enemy chasing after them, they encounter three different space stations with three little girls running each one. But these are no ordinary girls, as Red soon discovers and must now deal with them as well as the WOLF Hunter Ship closing in on them.

“I want to take one of the aliens and ask him WHERES MY DAUGHTER? while I scoop his eyes out with a spoon but that doesn’t seem to be practical so I guess I’ll have to settle for cutting their dead bodies open and ripping their organs out! For science, of course."
- Lacey McCarthy, Biologist, mother of Ruby McCarthy, New Hope Colony, Canada

Twenty-eight and, in her own words, "well on the lezzie side of bi", Heather Hunter’s career is going from strength to strength. And her sex life is as chaotic as ever. After five years of limiting herself to (more or less) one bloke and quite a few girls, she decides to widen her horizons. Unfortunately, she picks a minor crime boss as her new male lover . . .

The colony transport ship Marco Polo is about to arrive at the New Hope Colony with 2,200 new Rangers onboard but alien reinforcements have already arrived. In the mountain valley the girls of Jacks Company under Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford prepare to face packs of demon wolves that will attack once the lake freezes.

Things have been mostly quiet at the New Hope Colony since the battles at the end of the summer and both the aliens and the Colonial Rangers have been licking their wounds and considering what their opponents might do next. The Rangers want to strike first but how and where? Maybe the Hot Tub Brain Trust will come up with something.

In 2118 a Rift starship discovered that humans have invaded a planet they consider theirs. The alien humans are judged extremely dangerous and must be eliminated. It took a while for the Rift to return to reclaim their property but now they're back and they've brought 30,000 Andoval mercenaries with them to rid the planet of the invaders.

Jacks Company is on the move after a year trapped in the mountain valley where they crashed after their transport was attacked by aliens invading the New Hope Colony. In the meantime the aliens have set their sights on Castillo and Novo Napoli, two of the last settlements still in human hands, but the ‘Hot Tub Brain Trust’ has already come up with plans to make them pay dearly for those prizes.

“The aliens killed half my company including my commander at Southport. It’s time to pay them back in full.”
- Captain Eva Zhang, CO, Tiger Company, 3rd Battalion, Colonial Rangers, New Hope Colony, China
The aliens are on the move again, this time they are headed for Winter Haven. Cassidy and Pickford step up the training of the girls from the New Hope Academy who survived the crash of the Cairo

Jacks Company is preparing for departure from the mountain valley they’ve been in for nearly a full local year. The new Rift commander has her sights set on Winter Haven and the aliens are getting ready for their next attack on the settlement, Jacks Company’s expected destination. The starship Asia has made it back to Earth’s solar system with news of the alien invasion of the New Hope Colony.

“We know the aliens will be coming soon. My squad will be in the fort and I’m scared, we all are, but we’re confident too. More than anything I’m scared I’ll lose someone because I make the wrong decision.”
- Stormy James, age 19, leader of squad One, intern, New Hope Academy, New Hope Colony, US

Jacks Company and the 12 ex-captives were able to slip away undetected for but a giant alien encampment lies directly in their way. Getting past it will be tricky. On the Cairo the stay behind group is ready to leave for their rendezvous with Jacks Company. Another group of captives including Ciara Cassidy's friend Lieutenant Miranda Balestiere are headed for their fate at the hands of the aliens.

The summer has arrived and with it have come warmer temperatures and the rapidly melting snows that threaten the valley where the crash survivors are being trained by GSGT Molly Pickford to fight and defend themselves. The alien Rift and their Andoval mercenaries regroup after the Battle for McKinley Pass and plan their attack on Winter Haven.

“They want us to fly the Southport mission in bad weather but that means we’ll probably get tossed around like a fishing boat in a hurricane only a bit higher up. Those guys back there better have their airsick bags ready. The last think I need is a whole platoon of Rangers puking all over my aircraft!”
